Michelin-starred Chef Yoric Tièche and Pastry Chef Florent Margaillan have created a festive menu for guests to enjoy delectable culinary delights over the Christmas season in the comfort of their own homes.

While Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, will close its doors on November 1 for the 2020 season, the Hotel’s celebrated chefs will continue to work their culinary magic, creating a gastronomic offer for the festive season. Dishes can be enjoyed at home, with delivery service available within selected areas between Nice and Monaco.

Chef Yoric Tièche wishes to make end-of-year celebrations more convivial than ever, with joyous family gatherings fully embracing the spirit of Christmas. Featuring seafood and Provençal specialities, Tièche’s festive menu is home-delivered, with detailed dish descriptions provided to enhance the gastronomic experience. Dishes are portioned and feature easy-to-assemble trimmings, making them very simple to put together at home.

The menu includes a number of traditional festive dishes such as homemade IGP certified French duck foie gras, and home-smoked salmon from the Faroe Islands seasoned with pink pepper. The Chef’s much-loved fish and seafood dishes take pride of place, including a half Breton blue lobster served with Russian salad, Breton scallops with Champagne buttered leeks, and wild sole fillet with shellfish à la marinière. Meat lovers can opt for the free-range chicken breast with truffles.

Pastry Chef Florent Margaillan, crowned French Dessert Champion 2010, has created a Yule log inspired by local Meyer lemons, highlighting the importance of citrus fruits in the area. Florent uses sustainably sourced lemons from Joëlle Etienne’s farm in the Var department. His log brings out the fruit’s delicate, juicy taste, featuring a shortbread, cream, biscuit, and smooth and silky mousse, all made with lemon, complemented by a centre infused with icy mint that is freshly picked from the Hotel’s herb garden.

Sweet tooths must not miss Florent Margaillan’s selection of traditional Christmas sweet delights, including his platter of 13 Provençal desserts, and a gingerbread-style Christmas cake with a lemon centre. A selection of gourmet assortment boxes completes the offer, with Christmas treats and chocolate truffles made with Florent’s signature 69 per cent dark chocolate, a bespoke blend created for the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat by renowned French chocolate manufacturer Valrhona.

Le Cap’s Christmas Takeaway is available by pre-order only. Menus must be ordered before December 20, 2020, and delivery service is available within selected areas between Nice and Monaco. Free delivery for orders over EUR 100, with dishes delivered before 12:00 noon on December 23 and 24, 2020. Pick-up from the Hotel can also be organised upon request.

Le Cap’s festive menu offers guests the chance to discover the talent of the culinary team of Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, before the Hotel re-opens its doors on March 5, 2021.
